A surge of Black women and young people registering to vote in Pennsylvania spells trouble for Trump
‘This data is suggesting that women, younger voters, voters of color, and then especially younger women of color are going to vote at a much higher rate than they did in 2020,’ one strategist says, predicting that it could have ‘a significant potential impact on the outcome of this election’
New voter registrations surged among Black women and young people in Pennsylvania when Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee for president, according to newly released data.
In the week that Joe Biden announced he would not run for re-election, new registrations increased by 262 per cent among Black women under 30 compared to the same week in 2020.
Registrations among Black voters increased by 110 per cent, and among voters under 30 years old by 59 per cent, also compared to the same week in 2020.
All of those demographic groups lean heavily towards voting for Democrats.
This is why polling sucks, or rather, that scientific polling can't account for what it can't account for. Unlikely voters, have never voted previously, where why Trump did so much better than his polling showed in 2016 and 2020.
Don't sleep on him.
Exactly. I hate these articles that encourage complacency. Pennsylvania is on a knife's edge and everyone needs to vote. You could write an article about the signs pointing in Trump's favor in PA just as easily if not more.
Register to vote. Check your registration to make sure it's active. Tell your friends to do the same. Make a plan to vote. Help your friends make a plan to vote. These are the only messages that are helpful in PA.
I could read articles from every single paper in the world giving me detailed breakdowns by renowned scientists, statisticians, math experts, and even some geologists if you're feeling frisky, all telling me how Harris is 99.99999999% likely to win, and only 10,000 votes will go to anyone else, and that will still not change my opinion.
GO VOTE
"cautious optimism!" I expect theft in GA and MI, WI, MN to hold blue; but PA has me worried
If you live in PA, then turn out, and get all your friends to turn out. This is true no matter where you live, but PA is even more so. And this is the plural you, just to make that clear.
But I thought "the black people" loved him because he...*checks notes*... has been indicted numerous times and sells shoes. Are you telling me that's not true? I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked.
